Description

The list of media on a page such as http://www.hymnary.org/hymn/SH/8 needs various UI improvements.
- it should be a table, with titles and links/widgets lined up in columns
- there should be an icon for each media type (image, mp3, midi, score, etc)
- the media should be displayed closer to the top of the page, before the text of the hymn

Do we need some type of embedded media player for mp3 and midi files (that won't automatically start playing when the page loads)?

The list of media is now just under the text/tune information and organized in a table. The icons could probably be better; I just found some on the Internet to work for now.

Is this the general idea? What needs to be improved/changed?

Oh, and still nothing done so far in terms of an embedded media player....

media player

Yes, good idea. I'm not a fan of flash, so if there is an alternative, that would be good -- but there are open source flash players we could use.
